Calgary, AB — On Saturday, December 2, three Calgary Public Library locations will be transformed for Star Wars Day: The Library Strikes Back. This one-day event — a free all-ages celebration of all things Star Wars — is a special opportunity for Calgarians to mark the upcoming launch of the movie Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

“Libraries are gathering places, full of varied resources and relevant programs. Our upcoming Star Wars Day is a fun opportunity for us to bring fans together,” said Heather Robertson, Director of Service Design. “We’re excited to welcome Calgarians of all ages to Central, Shawnessy, and Saddletowne libraries, as partner organizations, Library staff, and volunteers help us make this an afternoon to remember.”

Whether you choose the dark side or the light, the Library will have fun activities for all Star Wars fans:

Calgary Public Library, with 600,000+ members, has been inspiring the life stories of Calgarians for more than 100 years. It is currently the second largest library system in Canada and the sixth largest municipal library system in North America, with Calgarians borrowing more than 15.8 million physical and digital items and with 6.7 million in-person visits last year. Preparations are underway for the awe-inspiring 240,000 sq. ft. New Central Library, to open in November 2018.
